I cannot build a new kernel image when I add a assembly module to It

Hi

I had added an assembly program to the networking
section of kernel linux 2.2.16 without any problem.
But when I add it to kerenel 2.4.1 I could build that
kernel, but I faced with kernel panic error when I
boot
system with new builded image. I use the following
Make file to build It in the 2.4.1 kernel. 

/*--------------------------------*/
L_TARGET := libtest.a

obj-$(CONFIG_TEST)		+= test.o

override CFLAGS += -Wpointer-arith
override CFLAGS += -Wbad-function-cast
override CFLAGS += -DTERMIO


#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Section 3 - Conversion routines from new style to
old style for Rules.make

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Section 4 - Rules.make section
include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.make
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Section 5

$(obj-y):  $(TOPDIR)/include/linux/config.h\
                       
$(TOPDIR)/include/linux/autoconf.h

clean:
	-rm -f *.o
tags:
	ctags libtest.a

tar:
	tar -cvf /dev/f1 .

test.o: test1.o test2.o test3.o 
	$(LD) -r -o $@ test1.o test2.o test3.o 

test3.o: test3.s
	$(AS) -o $@ $<
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see test3.s is an assembly file.
I guess this problem is related to this Makefile.
Is this Make file true?
How can I win over this problem?

thanks

Sorry, I'm not much of a linux assembly guru, but I am wondering why you 
assume the Makefile is the problem.  It could be, I'm not a makefile 
guru either.  But, as far as I know, make works the same no matter what 
kernel it's running on.  My first suspicion would be that calling 
conventions were changed between kernel versions, or that you use a 
kernel function that changed functionality.  Also, the version of gcc 
may be important.  I think something in the 2.9xx series is recommended 
for compiling the kernel.
